It's a triple buy!'Cheesecake Factory (NasdaqGS: CAKE - News): ' ... they have to put up more stores. I think it's a decent buy right here. It's come down a lot.

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Lightning Round Mar. 23

Bullish calls:
Cleveland-Cliffs (NYSE: CLF - News): 'Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap! This is an iron pellet company, and there is a worldwide shortage of iron ...

And did the stock blink an eye? Absolutely not. I am with you. I believe the comparisons will be really easy for SIX. Pull the trigger my friend.'Sun Microsystems (NasdaqGS: SUNW): 'I think SUNW is okay. This is a new position for me. I have historically disliked SUNW... At $6 bucks, I don't know... enough hate is enough. They've got a new CEO. They've got a KKR shareholder. I think there's a lot of ways to win. $1 down, $3 up.'Indevus Pharmaceuticals (NasdaqGM: IDEV): 'I recommended IDEV... and it is still ramping... but it's a little $6 stock, so I'm not going to push it hard here. They've got a lot of compounds... I would take a shot. It's a flyer. It's a speculative name.'Apple (NasdaqGS: AAPL): 'If it's going to $100 and beyond, I don't think $93 is a bad level, but let's do it this way: Let's buy 25 shares, with the hope it comes in so we can get our 100 shares in... I think iPhone is going to be gigantic. 'Amgen (NasdaqGS: AMGN): 'I say buy it here with a minimum risk/reward. Maybe even do it in deep-in-the-money in options.'

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Stock Recap Feb. 23

"Pipeline Play": Biosite (NasdaqGS: BSTE)Cramer wanted viewers to take a look at Biosite which will be in demand if the Democrats "storm the winter palace" in November, because the money will go out of Big Pharma into "small, diagnostic plays." He likes the fact that Biotech is new and not yet played out, and comments that this producer of diagnostic tests keeps reinvesting money into new products. Cramer added Biosite is "sitting on top of a new product cycle," and should see an upside as well as more analyst coverage. He also predicts a short squeeze which should bring the stock up, and notes the company implemented a 12% buyback of its stock, and Fidelity is increasing its stake in the company from 12% to 15%. Cramer likes Biosite as a "pipeline story" and thinks the shorts are going to be sorry.Here Comes the Sun Microsystems (NasdaqGS: SUNW)Cramer declares that SUNW, a stock he has "hated for a very long time," is now an "under -$10 turnaround" because its new management is making serious changes by cutting costs and continuing to improve its sales. However, he cautions against impulse buying, and urges investors to find a good entry point and not to buy before Monday afternoon. Cramer sees upgrade potential, notes that its server business is "en fuego" and its software business is strong. He reminds investors to use limit orders when buying.The Week Ahead: GlobalSantaFe (NYSE: GSF - News), Marvell Technology (NasdaqGS: MRVL), Analog Devices (NYSE: ADI - News), Blockbuster (NYSE: BBI - News), Dynegy (NYSE: DYN - News), Foster Wheeler (NasdaqGS: FWLT), McDermott (NYSE: MDR - News), Charter Communications (NasdaqGM: CHTR), Sprint (NYSE: S - News), Gap (NYSE: GPS - News), Viacom , and VeriFone (NYSE: PAY - News)On Monday, Cramer suggests buying GSF before it reports a "blowout quarter" and would pick up MRVL after its disappointing report. He sees hope for MRVL because ADI indicated the worst is over in the chip inventory cycle. Cramer says investors should sell BBI before Tuesday and buy some back after a selloff, and he would do the same with DYN. He predicts strong earnings for FWLT and MDR, would buy CHTR ahead of its report, and would only pick up Sprint if it has an "incredibly miserable" quarter. Cramer also suggests taking a look at GPS, Viacom and PAY.Mad Mail: Sirius Satellite Radio (NasdaqGS: SIRI) and XM Satellite Radio (NasdaqGS: XMSR)When faced with a potential merger, Cramer says it is better to buy stock in the stronger rather than the weaker company, because even if the deal is off, the better company will rise.

Jim Cramer's Wall Street Confidential Jan. 24

Yahoo (NASDAQ: YHOO - News), Google (NASDAQ: GOOG - News), Sun Microsystems (NASDAQ: SUNW - News), AT & T (NYSE: T - News), Verizon (NYSE: VZ - News), Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL - News), Norfolk Southern (NYSE: NSC - News), Union Pacific (NYSE: UNP - News), Lennar (NYSE: LEN - News), Centex Corp (NYSE: CTX - News), Toll Brothers (NYSE: TOL - News), DR Horton (NYSE: DHI - News) and Pulte (NYSE: PHM - News)
Cramer described the "glass half full mode" in tech as the shorts were looking at options expiration last week. "We were confounded by the work off of the options hangover which then positioned tech to be too low and ready for a trade -- just a trade, but a trade is worth grabbing." He added that the fact that Yahoo is up even though the company "doesn't have a clue" will give hedge funds the impression that it will go up whether Yahoo is good or bad and will encourage the shorts to change their position. Cramer also noted that Google was up on Yahoo, and that SUNW is also up, but he doesn't think that the company is doing anything interesting. What Cramer does find interesting is AT & T's strategy, outlined in its conference call, to take customers away from Verizon wireless by offering free service for a 18 months to Apple's iPhone users. Cramer says that NSC's drop is a "false tell" because the company periodically messes up and then ramps. He predicts that UNP will reach $110 to $115 from a recent $97. The "infrastructure crumble" for trucks make the rails "superior to almost any other trend I've got." Cramer calls CTX a "bunch of idiots" because they, along with LEN, TOL, DR Horton and PHM were too bullish at the top. "None of these companies distinguished themselves as good businessmen," he said. "None of them turned out to be cautious." However, he likes the fact that these companies are not building more homes, and prefers being long land inventory than home inventory because land is selling.
